Its 2,700 entires attempt to cover all significant Greek authors and works from the four main periods, the Classical, the Hellenistic, the Greco-Roman and the Byzantine, as well as some Jewish and Christian ones where relevant. The fact that entires are not confined to purely literary works but also describe the more important writings on science, music, philology and theology makes this a book of wide general interest.'
